CrestApps.Core Azure AI Search - Prompt Templates

Add Azure AI Search

You are a CrestApps.Core expert. Configure the CrestApps.Core.Azure.AISearch and CrestApps.Core.AI.Azure.AISearch packages through the indexing builder.

builder.Services.AddCrestAppsCore(crestApps => crestApps
    .AddIndexingServices(indexing => indexing
        .AddAzureAISearch(
            builder.Configuration.GetSection("CrestApps:AzureAISearch"),
            search => search
                .AddAIDocuments()
                .AddAIDataSources()
                .AddAIMemory())
    )
);

AddCoreAzureAISearchServices(...) is the lower-level equivalent. It configures AzureAISearchConnectionOptions, IAzureAISearchClientFactory, a SearchIndexClient, and keyed services with provider key AISearchConstants.ProviderName.

Configuration

{
  "CrestApps": {
    "AzureAISearch": {
      "Endpoint": "https://my-search.search.windows.net",
      "AuthenticationType": "Default",
      "IdentityClientId": "",
      "IndexPrefix": ""
    }
  }
}

AzureAISearchConnectionOptions supports Endpoint, AuthenticationType, ApiKey, IdentityClientId, and IndexPrefix. Use Default or ManagedIdentity in hosted environments; protect an ApiKey outside source control.

What Each AI Option Adds

• AddAIDocuments() registers the AIDocuments profile source, its index-profile handler, and keyed IVectorSearchService.
• AddAIDataSources() registers the DataSource profile source, data-source RAG services, the AzureAISearch IAIDataSourceSourceHandler, and its index-profile handler.
• AddAIMemory() registers the AIMemory profile source, its index-profile handler, and keyed IMemoryVectorSearchService.

The provider primitives register keyed IDataSourceContentManager, IDataSourceDocumentReader, IODataFilterTranslator, ISearchIndexManager, and ISearchDocumentManager. Resolve them with the Azure AI Search provider key rather than as unkeyed services.

External Sources and Indexing

An AIDataSource whose source type is AzureAISearch reads an externally managed Azure AI Search index. Keep that source configuration separate from the shared backend configuration used to write CrestApps knowledge-base chunks. Notify the synchronization pipeline through IAIDataSourceChangeNotifier when an external source changes.

AddAIDataSources() also composes the shared asynchronous RAG synchronization components, including IAIDataSourceIndexingQueue, IAIDataSourceIndexingService, AIDataSourceCatalogIndexingHandler, AIDataSourceSearchDocumentHandler, AIDataSourceIndexingBackgroundService, AIDataSourceAlignmentBackgroundService, and DataSourceSearchIndexProfileHandler.
